Very funny. I am not sure why I would listen to cricket as I have no interest, but I did one night in bed when Blowers was commentating and he was so witty and amusing. I assume you know who who Blowers is or was. While not quite like calling a horse race, our Australian cricket commentary is a bit too excitable and harsh for my taste.

When we were young and would get silly my father would either go on a yell rampage or get the giggles with us. Once he started laughing we'd all be under the table, his laugh so infectious. This snippet brought back great memories of him Cro. Thanks for that!

Yummy Scallops..mmm!

seaside town in the Coromandal District.
Had a great time...5000 people, lots of wine...

Optimistic Cro!

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist, is that the optimist enjoys himself whilst waiting for the inevitable! I AM that optimist!

This is a daily, optimistic, 'photos and comments' blog. I make no judgements (only occasionally), just notes. If you wish to comment in any way at all, please feel free. Everything and everyone is very welcome.

About Me

I was born just south of London, but for the past 45 years I've lived in S W France. I am a painter by profession, and writer by desire. Lady Magnon and I live in an ancient cottage, in a tiny village, in perfectly tranquil countryside. We have a vegetable garden called 'Haddock's' (this may crop up from time to time), a Border Collie/Black Lab' cross called Bok, a cat called Freddie, plenty of fruit trees, and a view that takes the breath away. I try to treat our planet with respect, and encourage others to do likewise (without preaching).
Contentment is a glass of red, a plate of charcuterie, and a slice of good country bread. Perfect!
